Jackie G goes down again[Merged Thread]

[CalifHusky]

This is very sad that Jackie is hurt, yet again. Her record of injury reminds me of Shea R. Very sad to see talented and dedicated players that are plagued with injury.

USC is my adopted team{but UCONN is my fav team}, since I re-located to Calif from CT. I was hoping that they would have a better year, with Jackie and Cassie Harberts (who was also heavily recruited by UConn - back in the line up after her injury last year) and the addition of two players from KML's MaterDei Team. If Jackie is out, this will make thing hard on the rest of the team. Of course next year they add Jordan Adams from MaterDei, a big plus.

Wishing Jackie all the best of luck for a speedy recovery.

No definitive word let, but I don't like the way it sounds:

Although there is nothing on the USC web site, a friend I spoke to who both Facebooks and Twitters with Jacki stated that Jacki posted that she did tear her left knee ACL..
I do not know what her plans are for the future.
I hope the strong will and determination she had to rehab the previous three tears(4 surgerys) helps her get through this tough time.

It's official. And it's very sad. Poor young lady. The talent. The drive to play. The pain. Get well soon Ms. Gemelos.

Damn! Jacki's game was a cross between Jackie Stiles and Diana Taurasi. She could have been legendary. This sucks.

Hang in there! And call Shea Ralph. Coaching may be a good alternative for JG.

One would think so but even though she once said she would quit playing if it happened again she now vows to overcome her recent injury and play in the WNBA. Although it seems improbable something in my gut tells me that she will accomplish her goal. My gut is seldom wrong.

Hate to be a downer, but I don't know that a WNBA team will take a chance on someone who will have had five surgeries before she is 23. I agree with whoever said she should look to coach to stay involved...Shea is absolutely great and I'm sure has really helped Doty with what she's going through.

I may be dreaming but I think she and Caroline have become good long distance friends.

I would hope so!!!!!

Has anyone heard anything definitive on Jackie yet? I saw some tweets that implied it was quite serious, but no facts.

It is another ACL

It is very sad and gives us added incite as to what CD has gone through and she lives with everyday!
